It seems like you're thinking superficially. lol Qiao Lin is not a bad girl at heart, she truly cares for her sister, Xu Yan. The only reason why she's the way she is is because of their parents treating her differently. Xu Yan never openly complained in front of her sister about the mistreatment and neglectment. She was always seen as the obedient one, not someone who was neglected. How do you expect Qiao Lin to understand when both siblings were raised differently? Plus, pamerping Qiao Lin or any kid like her can lead to stunt in self-growth. Now that she's out of her parents' reach then perhaps this is the best opportunity for her to grow and learn to understand Xu Yan's side of the story. We can obviously see Xu Yan doesn't truly blame her sister for the mistreatment, in fact she still cares about her older sister.

Yes, because she is the older and healthier of the two so they favored her more over Xu Yan.

It's not abandonment, more so neglect and mistreatment due to health, gender favoritism, and financial reasons

Thank you!

Does anyone have the OST list for the drama? Trying to find one of the songs I heard in ep 5 by a male singer

I think his character was pretty mellow, almost like an accessory to Xu Yan, until episode 5, when you notice the fake "acting" his character does to get his family distracted from Xu Yan's parents. It shows he knows a lot more than he says he does. Afterall, he has an informant checking on Xu Yan 24/7, the audience just haven't seen his side of the story yet.

That is true. I didn't think much of it other than it is odd that he has people spying on her already. 🤨

Oops my bad, I got his name mixed up with Wallace Huo🥲

Do you think Hao Ming is also someone with a motive? 👀

I quite like the story, it's understandable why Xu Yan is trying to erase or hide her past. It seems due to her parents' favoritism towards her sister, she felt like she was not loved growing up. The high school exam was the turning point in her life that confirms it. I had ssomething similar happen growing up that I learned to put on a facade, not lies per say, but a "happy face."
I digress, I fear that Xu Yan is going to end up with repercussions from her lies because it's so big that it can't be contained any longer. However, there are definitely parts of her that is genuine - her dedication to her work, she refuses to use shortcuts. That I really admire since she has a boyfriend that she can definitely use. It also seems her love for Hao Ming is also genuine. I'm kind of sad that Hao Ming (William Chan) is basically an accessory character - hopefully its not like that for long.

Can novel readers confirm whether the sisters were close? I read a bit but didn't get far

Yep, they're just speeding forward with the timeline to get the audience up to speed to how they got together. You can tell they got togther, because he's interested in her and vice versa during the hospital scene.

Esp when he said "You've stepped on my foot." hehehe

Mobius takes me to my childhood with all the TVB police investigative dramas. I even recognize one Hong Kong actor! So nice to hear Cantonese in a Mandarin drama. It's a little funny when I notice the accents from Bai Jingting when he spoke in Cantonese, same with the Cantonese actors when they spoke in mandarin. haha It makes the drama a little lighthearted than it should be.

Mistress is stupid, people grieve in different ways lady.

I didn't think I would enjoy it because it's very political, but I suppose it is interesting with the way things are in the world right now. I like it thus far.

Now this is a genuine wuxia drama, MDL take notes. I am seated for this <3

Oh trust me I understand how difficult it is for DA victims to speak the truth especially in China where domestic violence is common in not just women, but also kids in general.

This drama is flawed regardless. If everyone thought she was crazy, how can she be the top of her class and the class monitor? Her father tells everyone she has paranoia since her mother left, but concentration with paranoia is extremely difficult. Surely, the teacher would've noticed the difference in her behaviors in school as opposed to around her dad. Granted, I would also think the teachers refuse to butt in to how parents "discipline" their children. But surely they should notice the difference in behaviors when her dad came. The teacher even met her outside of school and knows what she's like normally compare to how she was with her dad. It's the fact that the teacher can't even put two and two togther that irritates me. Not to mention, he goes gambling, surely the neighbors would've gossiped about that as well. In addition to that, loan sharks are constantly coming to their house, and none of the neighbors hear anything?
The police are useless too as they don't even notice there's something wrong between the two. The police should've bene trained to read body language and notice there was something wrong with the dad. He was very nervous in front of the police, and somehow the police thinks nothing of it.

She can just show them her wounds, that's evidence of abuse. smh.

She didn't cover them up, you can still see her lip wound.
